Dawlish Warren, Devon. 13.00. Good to catch up with the 5 #VelvetScoters loafing on the sea NE of Langstone Rock. Just the 2nd time I've seen this species this year. They spent much of their time separate from the larger Common Scoter flock nearby. #DevonBirds #UKBirding @warrenbirding.bsky.social

The five Velvet Scoters at Dawlish Warren in sunny and dull weather but distant. Still eight Common Scoter. A Kingfisher hovering over the waves was unexpected.

Thought I’d have a nose around Dawlish Warren for a couple of hours this afternoon. No stripey warblers sadly but plenty of Goldcrests & Chiffs to keep my hopes up.
Best of the birds: Dartford Warbler, Barnacle Goose (my 1st this year), 12 Common Scoter & a great Great Northern Diver.

After finding not much at the Nose 1st thing, I tried for Slav{s} from Cockwood Crossing.
The 🌧️ kindly waited until after the 11th hour, the grebes were less helpful 😔
More helpful was the @warrenbirding.bsky.social Garganey, who flew through my field of view while I was scanning the duck masses!

Snow Bunting feeding on the strand line at Dawlish Warren. Oblivious to people but should look out for that huge female Sparrowhawk I often see along there! @warrenbirding.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social

West Exe - spent the morning birding around Dawlish Warren before running 25km from home to Teignmouth in the afternoon. Plenty of time on feet.
Impressive sea at Dawlish.
